Join 'Friends of Art Deco' for a Guided Walking Tour of Queen and Adelaide Streets.
We follow Brisbane's architectural transformation from its colonial origins, the impact of the Great Depression, and the emergency of the inter-war Art Deco styles.
History comes to life through your Guide's personal recollection of an inner-city childhood/education/career - a connection to these buildings.
